Hi -- would it be okay if I forwarded this, or the $650 offer, to Mike Klemens N6IMY, the guy who currently runs a Wednesday slow CW practice net and organizes portable radio in the park events for the San Mateo club??? He's been hurting for a modern radio.

I have an FTDX10 and love it and I think he would get good use from it.

Thanks,

Connie

First off, my sincerest apologies if this is unwanted traffic. This is sent in good faith and I hope it comes across as such.

I've come to the realization that I no longer use my Yaesu FTDX-10 enough to justify keeping it around. I'd rather someone else be able to actually use and enjoy it. I had a blast using it with some of y'all at baylands during my few trips there (first with the handmade PVC loop antenna, and later times with my simpler wolf river coil setup).

I've already listed it on facebook at this point, but I wanted to give an opportunity to anyone here if they want to buy it. It still looks basically new and works like new - it's only 2 years old, and I know a few of you have actually used it (if you can recall that long ago).

$500 for the FTDX-10 for any QRPops members (I'm listing on FB for $650 for reference).

I feel pretty strongly against people using amazing mailing lists like this for sales, but I hope that with such a reduced price this feels more like extending an opportunity and not trying to make a quick buck.

Nervously wishing the best,

Mitchell (KN6VGL)

P.S. I still plan to be involved in radio throughout life, just at a lesser rate. And I know that if and when I decide to get back into HF work it will be with a MUCH smaller unit. That FTDX-10 is so darn big!

I can be reached directly at my callsign (KN6VGL) at gmail or via replies here if you feel like pinging the whole group :)

Go for it! And the $500 is perfectly fine. I'm really just happy to see it go to use! Going through you (even indirectly to Mike) means not dealing with vetting scammers vs buyers from Facebook anyway - which is of great value to me :)

I'm not entirely sure how to handle priority here - so let's go with still open game for other QRP ops and Mike until someone is actually offering to buy it. I'll hold off on facebook offers for 24 hours (saying I have a pending sale) to give time here.

Just to close this out, I have sold the radio to Mike N6IMY. Thanks again all for the bandwidth and have a lovely Christmas!

I hope to come by again soon (though without my own radio this time)
